No evidence against Minister Babu in bar case, says Chennithala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:  A case was not registered against Excise Minister K Babu in the bar case as there was no evidence against him, reiterated Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala in the assembly. The Thrissur vigilance court ordered for a quick verification without examining the preliminary report of the vigilance, Chennithala said while replying to the notice for the adjournment motion of K Suresh Kurup.  

The quick verification report will be submitted on January 23. The opposition staged a walk out when permission for the motion seeking the resignation of the minister was denied. Babu said that he will resign if proved that his name has been mentioned in Biju Ramesh’s section 164 statement.  |

Chennithala denied the opposition’s allegation that the court rejected the investigating report of the vigilance. The vigilance court ordered a quick verification based on a disc containing an interview aired in television. A detailed investigation was conducted on the allegation of Biju Ramesh. The statements of the witnesses were taken and examined. The case was written off due to lack of evidence, he said.
